Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Compatibility

Hi :)

Mac is developed from a Bsd.  Both Bsd and Linux are re-writes of Unix and use 
many of the same programs and same systems.  There are differences in their 
philosophies and kernel but that is just me being pedantic.
Regards from
Tom :)

Hi,

If memory serves me correctly, iMAC's Unix kernel IS Linux.
MAC OS X is absolutely built on top of a Unix kernel from NextStep.
Mr. Jobs seems to have seen to that in OS X.  That's the main
reason OS X is so stable.

Nothing to install if using BootCamp!  I just haven't played
with it in a while.  A long while...
